Caitlin Clark receives eighth technical foul, could miss next Fever game
Caitlin Clark was given her eighth technical foul of the season during the Fever's win over Chicago, which may trigger a one-game suspension for the team's upcoming matchup.
During the Indiana Fever's 90-86 triumph over the Chicago Sky, Caitlin Clark was flagged for her eighth technical foul after unintentionally bumping into a referee while being forced out of bounds. League policy dictates that reaching eight technicals results in a mandatory one-game suspension for the player's next appearance, unless the league reverses the ruling. Clark reviewed the footage, said the contact was inadvertent, and expressed confidence that the WNBA would nullify the foul.
Fever coach Stephanie White described the incident as a poor call, emphasizing that incidental contact happens frequently and officials need better situational awareness. The suspension, if upheld, would sideline Clark for the Fever's upcoming game against New York on Tuesday.
Why it matters
The foul could bench a star player, affecting the Fever's chances in their next game.
